They may hate progressives but even they will recognize a good thing when it bites them in the ass. All good Republicans can turn down Health Care, Social Security and Medicare for the greater good and uphold their “standards”.</p> Wrong response, I say let’s give the Republicans great health care too.

Unlike Western Europe, Americans are largely disconnected from War, which is why we don’t mind doing it so often. If there was a draft, holy hell there would be no wars, too unpopular.

With all the mis-information provided by our Right leaning media, look how many easily lead people joined up to fight an enemy they know nothing about?

Now almost decade later people are finally feeling this was the WRONG thing to do. Maybe once we finally get out of the sandboxes our thirst for war mongering will have been quenched and we can set about closing bases and cutting our military in half….

Now that the Re-nuts have given us Carte Blanche with Health Care Reform, they won’t vote for it anyway, why worry about if they “demonize it” later?

Also Obama needs to stop putting out fires (To the Vets in Az “Nobody is going to take your care away”) and instead set some of his own under his own party.

Passing a Super Strong Public Option IS a backdoor into Single Payer, how foolish are you to think that its not? When you scream bargain or “free” or “up to 50% off” in America, how many people show up?

Health Insurance would be no different. Cut people’s premiums by 75% and they would jump for joy.

Instead of reducing the size of Government enough to “drown it in a bathtub”, why not reduce HMO’s profits enough to drown in a sink?

kiss health care real reform goodbye

the jr senator has been taken to joe’s woodshed so he can beat him up

if you look close and do lots of research into the mysteries of life you will see the diffence between a repub and a demo

the repub is very selfish and the demo is meek

it is a new soul old soul thing

it is like the demos and repubs live on two different planets

few will understand my words very few

have you noticed how the repubs are more religious than the demos

christianity died on the cross

repubs dont care about those suffering without health insurance
